Oceania Cruises has announced the restaurants and dining experiences that will be available on its newest ship, Vista.

The vessel will offer a whopping total of 12 dining venues, which is a lot for a ship of its size. Of the 12, four are brand new to the line and exclusive to Vista.

Vista will present a fresh perspective on the finest cuisine at sea with an astounding array of dining options that range from informal to the extravagant,” said Bob Binder, President and CEO of Oceania Cruises. “A dramatic re-inspiration of every dining space from décor to table setting to menu offerings has resulted in a new pinnacle of diversity and creativity for our guests to enjoy.”

All beef dishes served at Polo Grill are 28-day dry aged certified Black Angus USDA Prime. Seafood classics such as swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinée are also standouts on the menu.

Toscana

Toscana presents an evolution of Tuscan cuisine in an authentically Italian-inspired setting. Many of Oceania’s Italian recipes originated with the mothers and grandmothers of its own Italian culinary staff.

Presented on elegant, custom Versace china, the masterfully-prepared dishes exemplify the essence of Tuscany. Choices include hand-rolled gnocchi with pesto, risotto with lobster medallions and shallots, and pan-seared sea bass filet finished with Sorrento lemon, chardonnay, and capers.

Red Ginger

Red Ginger evokes the boldness and subtleties of the Pan-Asian dishes that Oceania chefs have created.

The Thai, Korean, Japanese, and Malaysian-rooted specialties are a combination of spicy and soothing, savory and sweet to please just about anyone. Dishes include spicy roast duck salad, beef penang with coconut rice and paratha roti, and Thai vegetable curry with sweet potatoes, aubergine, mushrooms, and basil in green curry sauce.
